MegaWalk 2nd Leg Day Three: Thatcham to Woolhampton

3 miles, 3 locks, 2 swingbridges

Only a short walk today so I wanted to make it last. Mum called me Ploddypaws again! She also called me Daisy! That apparently had something to do with my grass munching! Well, it was tasty and I just couldn't resist those long luscious strands.

Just as we were coming to the last stretch of the walk, the blimmin' sky sprung another huge leak. We got soaked again! Huff! Then, once again, Mum and Dad showed their human strangeness; once back aboard the boat, they dealt with the sogginess by getting even more soggy - in the frothy warm rain box! I just don't get it! Me? I had a great towel-rub from Mum then settled down for a snooze leaving them to get on with their oddities!

This evening, we walked the little way to a human yummies place where there was a table set out with loads of delectable smelling stuff. I didn't get to sample much but a couple of dropped morsels helped a little to stop my mouth making the carpet soggy! However, I did get to meet and greet Rolo! He is the red Labrador that I met on yesterday's very soggy MegaWalk. We did try to have a bit of a play but it seems this was not allowed in there! Huff! Maybe one day we will meet up somewhere for a proper good play!

Raising Money for Guide Dogs

We are raising money for Guide Dogs by walking the Kennet & Avon towpath from Bath to Reading. This has had to be put on hold following a family bereavement, but we have already reached our initial target of £5,000, so are now aiming for £10,000! Please do consider donating - even if it is only a little - to this wonderful cause.

About Me

My name is Oakley. I'm a
black labrador Guide Dog. My human charge is Tracey Clarke (aka Mum).
Mum was registered Blind/Severely Visually Impaired in 2011. I have been
looking after her since November 2012Mum (Tracey), Dad (Tim) and I live
on a narrowboat, named Sola Gratia, on the canals and rivers of the UK.
We are the first, and thus far only Guide Dog partnership to be living
this nomadic lifestyle. Mum says that, without me, she wouldn't be able
to even dream of doing this. I am happy to be so amazing!
